Behind the stone gate, there were two people in tights standing. They just glanced at the water from the corner of their eyes so that the three of them and Ye Wuchen looked away, and looked straight ahead without looking any further. With a glance, they didn't show any interest or vigilance towards Ye Wuchen's face, obviously they already knew the news that the three envoys of Shui Lei Yun would bring Ye Wuchen back. As for the majestic gate of the Southern Emperor Sect, there are only these two people guarding it, which shows how much confidence they have in their own defense. Perhaps since they settled here, no one has ever broken in here.
"Let's go." The water envoy glanced at Ye Wuchen's expression, and finally caught a trace of seriousness on his face, stopped talking, and walked forward quickly.
Ye Wuchen closed his eyes lightly, and sighed silently in his heart: Are you still following me...
Passing through a somewhat dim feldspar road, the eyes suddenly open up. Behind the high mountain wall, there is indeed a hidden cave. What appears in front of you is a huge manor that is so big that you can't see the edge at a glance. The room attic with obvious ancient style, combined with it, shows a kind of solemn simplicity.
Here is the root of the Southern Emperor Sect.
As Ye Wuchen expected, the atmosphere here is extraordinarily dignified, there is no disharmonious noise and confusion, and it is strangely quiet. Looking at it at a glance, there is no one in sight, obviously they are all busy with each other, and there is no one who is idle. Occasionally, a few people dressed as maidservants would pass by, would bow to Shui Shishi, and then leave in a hurry, and occasionally a few would look at Ye Wuchen a little more. Even though they are just maids, Ye Wuchen still felt strong energy fluctuations from them.
Moreover, in the quiet manor, Ye Wuchen could clearly feel dozens of energies and gazes with different intensities sweeping over him one after another, and the intensity of a few made him secretly startled. Although this is the Southern Emperor Sect's own domain, and it is extremely difficult for others to break into it, they have never forgotten the habit of being cautious, hiding in the dark, and there are still many hidden guards watching the surroundings at any time.
Ye Wuchen moved his eyes to see the pattern here in his heart, and stopped observing, as if he was not interested in the root of the Southern Emperor Sect.
The Third Envoy of Water, Thunder and Cloud led Ye Wuchen until he stopped in front of a simple and simple hall in the very center. Two dignified people were guarding the entrance of the hall. As the water approached them, the eyes of the two also locked on them. . The water envoy stepped forward and said: "Please inform the suzerain, both of you, and Ye Wuchen will bring it."
"He is Ye Wuchen?" One of them looked at Ye Wuchen, who was almost standing unsteadily. The rumors about Ye Wuchen in the Southern Emperor Sect were also known to everyone, and since this person was captured in the Southern Emperor Sect, he basically There is no possibility of going back: "The suzerain is not in the hall, the suzerain said before, if Ye Wuchen brings him, send him directly to the suzerain's study, the suzerain should be waiting now."
The water envoy nodded, and the three brought Ye Wuchen to the suzerain's study.
Shui Yuntian... It should be said that Shui Yunlan stood quietly in the study, staring at the word "water" that she had just written on the wall. While meditating, the door of the study was knocked, and a middle-aged woman's voice came: "Sect Master, Ye Wuchen brought it here."
Shui Yunlan's dead eyes finally became turbulent. He didn't turn around, but kept his original posture, and said lightly, "Bring him in."
The door was opened, and the sound of several footsteps came together. After a while, it returned to calm. Feeling the eyes of those behind him carefully watching her, Shui Yunlan said in a low voice, "Go down."
"Yes." The three envoys of Shui Leiyun responded, all secretly heaving a sigh of relief, and stepped back gently. Their age is much better than Shui Yunlan's, but in front of this suzerain, they will always subconsciously have a feeling of breathlessness and depression. Perhaps, this is the so-called coercion and momentum.
The door was closed again, and the quiet study room became quiet again, Shui Yunlan was still looking at the word "water" in front of her in a daze, neither turned her head to look at Ye Wuchen, nor said any words or actions, as if he All of his attention and energy are attracted by the words in front of him, and nothing else can attract and interfere with him.
Before Shui Mengchan asked the three envoys of Shui Leiyun to send Ye Wuchen, they had already told Shui Yunlan ahead of them, and now the time of Ye Wuchen's arrival was almost the same as Shui Yunlan expected. Although he was maintaining a deliberate calm, he was secretly paying attention to the movement behind him.
When a person without resistance is caught in an absolutely dangerous environment, facing an absolutely terrifying person, being so quiet will be a heavy and depressing psychological offensive, which is often more unbearable than direct intimidation and threats. Bear it until your heart breaks down. However, to Shui Yunlan's disappointment, just like him, Ye Wuchen behind him didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, only a few subtle sounds of moving his body. In silence, he secretly frowned.
After an unknown amount of time, Shui Yunlan finally turned around, but his state of mind had changed slightly at this time. How could he, an old fox, not know that since he used silence to exert a psychological offensive just now, facing him proactively means that he is the loser of this psychological test. If the two confront each other by force, he believes that even a thousand Ye Wuchens cannot be his opponent, but in a psychological confrontation, he has already fallen into a disadvantage.
After turning around, he finally saw the person he had been paying attention to for a long time with his own eyes, and the scene in front of him made his brows twitch suddenly.
Ye Wuchen was sitting on the chair on the right side of the door, in an inclined half-recumbent position, with one hand resting on the armrest of the chair, and the other holding a teacup. He just moved the teacup away from his mouth, gently He put it on the table at hand, moved his throat lightly, and closed his eyes slightly to taste the fragrant tea in his mouth. The expression is a kind of indescribable comfort, there is no expression of fear at all, it does not seem to fall into the hands of a powerful enemy, and his life may be taken away at any time, but he was invited here by eight sedan chairs from thousands of miles away The distinguished guests are average.
Moreover, the two of them sat and stood one by one, one with a stiff face and the other with a smile on his face, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Ye Wuchen is the master and Shui Yunlan is the servant.
"You are Ye Wuchen?" Shui Yunlan finally opened his mouth to speak, and he didn't really understand how difficult it would be to deal with Ye Wuchen, whom Shui Mengchan had confessed several times to be troublesome, until he got in touch with him personally. It's just that his current calm expression before the catastrophe is absolutely something that no one can have. And that expression made it impossible to see the slightest artificiality, it was so relaxed and natural.
Ye Wuchen squinted his eyes, landed on Shui Yunlan, and said a little funny: "You should be the suzerain of the Southern Emperor Sect, heh, I didn't expect the dignified Southern Emperor Sect's suzerain to be silent for such a long time, and he just opened his mouth. Nonsense, am I Ye Wuchen, do I really need to ask this?"
Shui Yunlan wasn't angry either, he naturally knew that if he was provoked, the most direct consequence would be confusion in his mind. The purpose of Shui Mengchan's capturing Ye Wuchen and handing it over to him is to force him to find out the whereabouts of the Southern Emperor's Sword, not to take his life, otherwise Shui Yunlan only needs to move his fingers, no matter what. No effort. And if you want to find out the location of the Southern Emperor's Sword, you must first destroy his psychological defense line. For a person like Ye Wuchen, physical punishment is basically impossible to make him submit. As soon as he came into contact with Ye Wuchen, he began to feel that it was very difficult to achieve his goal this time.
Speaking of which, if Ye Wuchen wasn't so difficult to deal with, and didn't have that shocking scheming, how could Shui Yunlan pay attention to him deliberately, and even ordered Shui Mengchan to win him over by all means. The strength of the Southern Emperor Sect has remained at the same height for thousands of years, and even if there are only small fluctuations, it can be said that this is already the peak of the Southern Emperor Sect's strength, at least in a short period of time. Finding an opportunity to break through, it is difficult to make progress in terms of overall strength, so they began to try to find someone with extremely high scheming and intelligence, because if they want to set foot in the world, they cannot do it by relying solely on force. Thus, Ye Wuchen entered their line of sight. Three years ago, they planned to pull Ye Wuchen into the Southern Emperor Sect.
Therefore, if Ye Wuchen wants to leave safely this time, there is only one way to go: tell the whereabouts of the Southern Emperor's Sword, and then be promised a certain Southern Emperor's daughter to become a member of the Southern Emperor's sect. At least they think so.
Shui Yunlan smiled without anger, "You are right, there is no need to talk nonsense with a smart person like you. Since this is the case, you should know why you came here today."
Ye Wuchen smiled lightly, moved his body, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and then said unhurriedly: "Of course I know. It must be your Nanhuang Sect Master who has admired my name Ye Wuchen for a long time, but has always regretted it." Yu didn't have the chance to pay a visit, so he didn't hesitate to invite people from thousands of miles away. I, Ye Wuchen, am really flattered by this kindness. How should I repay the kindness of the Southern Emperor... It's really difficult."
Shui Yunlan sneered, and her voice was slightly cold: "Ye Wuchen, I have heard for a long time that you are unparalleled in the world when you play tricks. Now that I see you, you can call it a well-deserved reputation. Your body is useless, and your tricks are not good at all." Useless. You are not a stupid person, otherwise I would not waste time on you. You know what we want from you, and you know what to do. You choose yourself."
"Oh? I don't know what choice your Southern Emperor wants me to make?" Ye Wuchen didn't care about his cold tone, and still asked calmly.
"The first way is to tell the whereabouts of the Southern Emperor's Sword, and then, die." Shui Yunlan's gaze was like a sword, and his voice was cold and without a trace of humanity. Following the words of "death", a cold murderous aura spread out along with his voice, covering Ye Wuchen's body, causing the temperature around his body to drop rapidly. Facing such a scheming person like Ye Wuchen, Shui Yunlan knew that if she said something like "tell the whereabouts of the Southern Emperor's sword and let you live", it would be a slap in the face, and Ye Wuchen would only treat it as a joke. So he confessed that even if he said what they wanted, he would just die.
